Abstract

Assembly for packaging and dispensing a product, in particular a cosmetic product, comprising a container comprising a body, and a junction of non-circular cross section and having an inclined slope and radially connecting the body to a neck, and a dispensing member of a cross section corresponding to the cross section of the junction of the container and intended to be mounted by snap-fastening on the container and to be disengaged from said container by a relative rotation of the dispensing member with respect to the container, the dispensing member comprising an inner snap-fastening skirt radially surrounded by the body and intended to cooperate with the neck of the container. The dispensing member comprises at least one stiffening rib radially connecting the inner snap-fastening skirt to the body of the dispensing member.

1 . Assembly for packaging and dispensing a product, in particular a cosmetic product, comprising a container and a dispensing member intended to close off an opening of the container, said dispensing member being intended to be mounted by snap-fastening onto the container and to be disengaged from said container by a relative rotation of the dispensing member with respect to the container, the container comprising a body, a neck of circular cross section and a junction of non-circular cross section radially connecting the body to the neck and having a non-circular cross section, the dispensing member comprising a body of a cross section corresponding to the cross section of the junction of the container and an inner snap-fastening skirt radially surrounded by the body and intended to cooperate with the neck of the container, characterized in that the junction exhibits an inclined slope cooperating with the body of the dispensing member during relative rotation of the dispensing member with respect to the container, and in that the dispensing member further comprises at least one stiffening rib radially connecting the inner snap-fastening skirt to the body of the dispensing member. 
     
     
         2 . Assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the inner snap-fastening skirt comprises at least two skirt portions circumferentially spaced apart by a circumferential clearance. 
     
     
         3 . Assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein the dispensing member comprises at least two stiffening ribs respectively radially connecting an inner skirt portion to the body of the dispensing member. 
     
     
         4 . Assembly according to  Claim 1 , wherein the cross section of the body corresponds to the cross section of the body of the container. 
     
     
         5 . Assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein the non-circular cross section of the body of the dispensing member has an ovoid shape defined by a major axis and a minor axis at least 10%, smaller than the major axis. 
     
     
         6 . Assembly according to  claim 2 , wherein the skirt portions are centred on the major axis of the non-circular shape of the body of the dispensing member. 
     
     
         7 . Assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the body moreover comprises a radial upper wall provided with a flow orifice for passage of fluid contained in the container. 
     
     
         8 . Assembly according to  claim 7 , comprising a lid that is hinged with respect to the body by means of at least one hinge about a transverse pivot axis, between an open position, in which the flow orifice is open, and a closed position, in which the flow orifice is closed off. 
     
     
         9 . Assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein the hinge is centred on a minor axis of the cross section of the body of the dispensing member. 
     
     
         10 . Assembly according to  claim 8 , wherein the stiffening ribs are advantageously provided one on each side of the hinge in the relative position of the dispensing member with respect to the container. 
     
     
         11 . Assembly according to  Claim 1 , wherein the dispensing member further comprises an annular sealing lip radially surrounded by the inner snap-fastening skirt and intended to be inserted inside the neck of the container. 
     
     
         12 . Assembly according to  Claim 1 , wherein one out of the neck of the container, and the inner snap-fastening skirt of the dispensing member comprises at least a first snap-fastening relief cooperating with at least a second snap-fastening relief provided on the other out of the neck of the container, and the inner snap-fastening skirt of the dispensing member. 
     
     
         13 . Assembly according to  claim 12 , wherein each skirt portion comprises a snap-fastening protrusion protruding radially towards the neck of the container and intended to cooperate with an annular rib provided on said neck. 
     
     
         14 . Assembly according to  claim 13 , wherein the snap-fastening protrusion extends circumferentially around an entire circumference of the corresponding skirt portion.
